Overview

The CAD Estimator / Programmer Course provides an in-depth understanding of using CAD software for electrical design and estimation.

With the UK construction industry projected to grow by 3.3% annually and the increasing focus on infrastructure development, expertise in electrical design and estimation is highly valuable. Over 20,000 new electrical engineering jobs are expected in the next decade, making this skill set crucial for career advancement.

With the growing demand for skilled professionals in the electrical engineering and construction industries, this course equips students with the necessary skills to create, analyse, and optimise electrical design drawings.

Beginning with the basics of AutoCAD, students learn to navigate the software and create accurate electrical design drawings. The course then explore the specifics of electrical distribution systems, including the analysis of voltage drop and short circuits, crucial for maintaining system reliability. Additionally, students will learn about different earthing systems and the importance of proper earthing for safety. The final unit focuses on generator sizing, a critical aspect of ensuring uninterrupted power supply in various engineering applications.

Overall, the CAD Estimator / Programmer Course is designed to prepare students for a successful career in electrical design and estimation, addressing the industry's current needs and challenges.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
